I'm looking into building a HTPC with the capabilities to play some old classic games like SNES/NeoGeo or even N64 if possible.

The problem is I have no idea where to start and a google search never gave a great answer. I'm hoping for it to be cheap, preferably around the $300 or less.

My first question is, is it better to build or buy a pre-made micro PC? If I am building any recommendations for parts?

Second, for software, I've read that XBMC with Adv. Launcher works well, but there is also Mediaportal that can be configured as well.

Last one for now is, would a wired USB xbox controller work for most games?
